REPENT AMERICA TO WITNESS FOR CHRIST AT SUPER BOWL XLIV |
PHILADELPHIA - Repent America (RA) will travel to Miami Gardens, Florida to preach the Word of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ at Super Bowl XLIV and its pre-Super Bowl events from Friday, February 5th through Sunday, February 7th. As in the past, through open-air preaching and the distribution of Gospel literature, RA will reach out to the tens of thousands of Super Bowl fans who will be gathering from across the nation to watch this year's game at Sun Life Stadium.
During its outreach, Repent America will focus on the saddening reality of abortion and preach against the shedding of innocent blood. Many media outlets in recent weeks have generated much discussion over a pro-life advertisement that is scheduled to air on CBS during the live Super Bowl broadcast. The ad, "Celebrate Family, Celebrate Life," features the story of Heisman trophy winner Tim Tebow, who is an unashamed Christian and a living testimony to the importance of choosing life.
 In 1987, while a missionary in the Philippines, Tim's mother Pam contracted a life-threatening disease from unsanitary drinking water. Pam, being pregnant at the time, was advised to abort her unborn child, as doctors believed that the medication she needed to recover would cause serious damage to her baby. Pam refused, and months later she gave birth to a completely healthy baby boy. Now, at 22 years of age, Tim Tebow is one of the most talked about athletes in the National Collegiate Athletic Association and is the first college sophomore in history to win a Heisman trophy.
As an anticipated 90 million viewers will potentially be impacted by Tim's inspirational story on the live Super Bowl broadcast, Repent America will be on the ground speaking about the value and reason of life outside of Sun Life Stadium. Throughout the day, RA will aim to raise awareness of the abortion holocaust in America, while preaching repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
"We are looking forward to the opportunity to preach the Gospel to the tens of thousands of people who will be gathering in Florida for the Super Bowl this year," stated Repent America director Michael Marcavage. "While most people will be focused on touchdowns and field goals, our focus will be on winning souls to Christ," he added.
"Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery (victory) is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible." - 1 Corinthians 9:24-25
